Chapter 522: Advent of Uncle Tian
The ancestor’s face suddenly began to flow with emotions, and the elderly face of the ancestor grew bright-red because of this excitement. It was truly hard to imagine that such a high and mighty Saint Ruler would suddenly lose control of his emotions like so.
“Jian Chen, if… if you can… if you can truly bring this senior to help our Huang family, no matter what request it is that you have, my Huang family will do its best to satisfy you.” The ancestor clasped onto Jian Chen’s shoulders with both hands and spoke in an exuberant voice.
“Senior, rest assured. This time, I, Jian Chen will do whatever it takes to invite that man over. When the time comes, I hope that you will rescind the betrothment of Huang Luan.” Jian Chen spoke earnestly.
“No worries, no worries at all. As long as that senior helps my Huang family, then the Huanggu family wouldn’t even dare let a fart out after we cancel the betrothment.” The ancestor replied. At that moment, he felt no more hesitation and had no more qualms about offending the Huanggu family.
A short moment later, the ancestor seemed to have thought of something, and immediately had a rather artificial look on his face, “However, Jian Chen. You must first let me see this senior for me to agree. As long as I can get this senior to personally agree to help, only then will I consider this to be a done deal.”
“Very well, I will first return to invite this senior!”
After leaving the mountain peak of the ancestor, Jian Chen returned to the Huang family’s villa where Huang Luan was and walked to the second story of the pavilion.
There was still the lingering scent of orchid in the room, and upon entrance, Jian Chen felt rather intoxicated by the smell. Jian Chen didn’t know that this was the smell of orchid to begin with, and neither did he know what the importance behind this essence was.
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind her, Huang Luan seemed to have realized that it was Jian Chen from her spot next to the window and whirled around to look expectantly at him. A trail of tears could still be seen on her face in a rather pitiful site.
“You’re back; did you think of a way?” Huang Luan asked expectantly. Despite her being so unwilling to have Jian Chen use the Qinhuang Kingdom to help her family at the cost of several power-holders being unsatisfied with him, she still maintained a glimmer of hope and some expectations.
“I’ve already convinced your grandfather who has agreed with me as well. If I can find someone even stronger than the Huanggu family, he will rescind your betrothment to the Huanggu family.” Jian Chen explained.
Jian Chen’s words made Huang Luan feel more worried for him rather than herself. Pacing to Jian Chen, she spoke in concern, “Will the Qinhuang Kingdom support you in this? If they participate in this matter, they will offend a few Saint Rulers, even the Huanggu family would be an injured party.”
Jian Chen laughed, “I’m not that foolish. Don’t worry. This matter won’t be something the Qinhuang Kingdom will participate in. Even I don’t wish for the troubles of the Qinhuang Kingdom to be increased. However, whether I can invite this senior or not, I am still not completely sure myself. In short, I will try my best. I came here so I can say goodbye for now. To finish this problem, I must hurry on back.”
“Then you have to take care of yourself!” Huang Luan’s heart trembled with affection. At this current moment, she was truly moved by Jian Chen.
With a nod of his head, Jian Chen turned around to leave without another word.
Afterward, Jian Chen looked for the five Imperial Advisors currently participating in a banquet with the rest of the Huang family. Dragging them away from the dining table, they all bade farewell to the head of the Huang family and hurriedly left.
Sniffing the scent of the essence fragrance on Jian Chen, Qing Shaofan gave a deep look to Jian Chen with a mischievous smile, “Honored Imperial Protector, why is there such a fragrance to you? Were you perhaps doing something bad in the Huang family for you to leave in such a worry?”
Jian Chen had been worrying about several serious matters and had completely disregarded everyone’s teasing. With a calm voice, he responded, “There is some matters we need to hurry back to, that is why we left in such a hurry.”
Seeing the grim look on his face, Xiao Tian and the others lost their teasing mood and grew somber. Speaking for everyone, Xiao Tian asked, “Honored Imperial Protector, what in the world has happened that made you hurry like this?”
“It’s not quite a short story, but it’s also not quite a long story. In short, it is a rather important personal matter to me.” Jian Chen spoke vaguely.
Xiao Tian and the others realized that Jian Chen was not going to explain to them, so they didn’t bother to continue asking. Instead, they focused on traveling.
The six of them traversed thousands of meters through the sky at a tremendously fast flight speed. Beneath their feet was the endless sea of clouds and even the sky in front of them was so vast that it could not be seen in completion. One would only be able to see the setting sun falling down beneath the horizon.
Two days later, the group returned to the Gesun Kingdom. Jian Chen took a quick bath in a nearby river to wash away the remaining smell on him before putting on a new pair of white clothes to return to the Changyang clan.
“This lowly officer pays his respect to the fourth master!”
Within the Changyang clan, there was practically no one who didn’t know Jian Chen. Whether it was a guard or servant, they all bowed respectfully in salute to Jian Chen as he traveled into the manor.
